:.'" DEVELOP THE HOME MARKET. ,
"r HE development of Klamnth trade, s suggested ly George Ool
A litis, is timely. AVith improvement of the connecting highway,
find vitli the coming of irrigation, there should be a well-orgaiiiaod
local association, to supply and develop this market on a sound imd
business-like basis.
The controversy following Mr. Collins" suggestion is not n serious
one. Whatever the exact capacity of the Klamath market, everyone
agrees that the market exists, that Medford is the logical center of
supply for fresh fruit and berries, and that now is the time to get to
work on the proposition. ' ' ' - 1
Uut Klamath docs not represent the only opportunity in this direl'.
tion. A new aud shorter highway connecting the Kogue Kivcr val-i
ley with Crescent City and the coast will be completed in the near
future. This will open up n rich territory, with only delayed and in
direct communication vitli California. Medford should lie the pro
ducing and distributing center for fresh vegetables and fruit, and
with a truck line to tbe coast, tins' field would be a profitable and
steadily. growiug one. ' , ; :' .
The Rogue Kiyer valley can produce the best fruits, berries and
vegetables in the world. It has the soil, the climate and the rTcreage.
With water, a very large tonnage can be put out.
Developing territory near at band, to the east and west, and then j
tbe development of a large and properly financed cannery, to take
the excess tonuage, and the serious land and water problem in Jack
son county will be wived. It must bo done. For the more one studies
the question, the more apparent it becomes that this is the. "only
way. . ' -

THE PUMP
I CELEBRATE the cistern pump in all my tireless rhyming;
bow brilliantly its waters jump, when it has had a priming 1
I work the bandle down and up, and watch the gushing fluid,
and quaff a gallon from the Cup, as quaffed the old time Druid.
They say that base and evil men are selling bootleg brandy; in
musty joint and squalid den they keep the poison handy. And
customers go there and swill the stuff from frowsy flagons, then
to the boncyard on the hill they go in creaking wagons. If they
escape the bier and shroud, it may be they'll be; blinded, and
crippled, busted up and bowed, and sick and" broken winded. For
booze is made of deadly things, of poNvdered toads and henna, of
warthog tusks and serpent stings, and chophouse pies and senna.
; So I shall seek no alley dump for tlrinlcs made' by a vandal, lut
journey to the cistern pump and blithely ply, the handle.
